Walk on water

Saturday morning I bought
My new shirt with long orange
Sleeves and wore it the next
Morning. There was a missing
Sunday in between that none realized.

Then there grew a sea outside my door
Salt water and lots of sand at my
Doorstep. The sky became more blue
And the clouds, more silver fluffy.

I wore my weekend slippers
Blue strapped, light rubber.

I stepped out and walked on water
Without a thought. Only half way through
Did I realize the water I walked upon.
Quickly I drowned and swam my way
To the next door.

Walking is easy, and on water, till I
Know it is water beneath.
(And I remembered stories)

Moses got the sea in splits
& made his way through.
Had he walked on water,
He might've become big
Bigger - a god, even!

Muthu Da, Sunday is seldom realized - in verse and otherwise also!

Your blog is a recent find :)
